Rep. Hakeem Jeffries was feeling musical on the Home ground after being elected Home Minority Chief for the Democratic Get together … and he let his track be heard by all, from A to Z.
The New York congressman — who was the clear favourite amongst his friends for Home Speaker as 15 rounds of voting have been held — delivered his speech early Saturday morning after Rep. Kevin McCarthy lastly received the gavel amongst a divided Republican occasion.
We’ll get to him in a minute, however first … take heed to Jeffries’ ABCs of crimson, white and blue. He went by way of all the alphabet to match and distinction the core tenets of his caucus.
It begins with American Values over Autocracy, Benevolence over Bigotry, the Structure over the Cult … and at last ends with Zealous Illustration over Zero Sum Confrontation, protecting each letter in between. It is received good rhythm to it, very similar to the true alphabet track!
Jeffries received large applause all through, and what appears like a standing O on the finish.
You would argue there was simply as a lot enthusiasm throughout the GOP, when now-Home Speaker McCarthy delivered his remarks to cap off the long night … when he promised to push a robust conservative agenda and to reign in plenty of Pres. Biden‘s insurance policies.
McCarthy’s win got here after an excruciating 15 rounds of voting over 4 full days … throughout which he slowly began to flip sufficient Republican votes in his favor amongst holdouts.
